Berrybreeze sniffles a little and tells her story.
"I make nightlights for little ones, and I was out of foxfire, so I went to find some in Pitchpine one night. I smelled something sweet, so I went to check it out...there was a cloud of fog, and some bats I had never met before flying around, and below I could hear someone talking. It was a tall, skinny person, and he smelled...well, he smelled as if he was made of barley sugar candy! He was talking to that half-orc that sleeps on the streets, and he smelled not nearly so nice, so I kept my distance."
"The Candyman was saying something like, 'Come to my house, it's made of gingerbread and filled with sweets, and you'll never be hungry again.' and the stinky half-orc kind of looked around at the Deadwoods and said, 'Yeeeeaah, screw it. I'll come.' And they...just...disappeared."

"That's all I know! Honest!" Berrybreeze wails. "And now pixies go looking for the Candyman at night, and the ones that don't come back are all my fault! I should have kept my mouth shut!"

"Okay," Mindartis says. "I'm going to find your friends. And I'm going to save them from the Candyman, alright. All I need you to do is stay calm, and tell if if there is anything else you can remember."

He means that the Candyman must be lying, don't you Lord Quentin Del tries to smooth over But thank you so much, Fair One, we shall try to rescue who we can, and get to the bottom of the sugar shortage. If you see us in a fight with this Spamedy-scam, you could lend our side a hand. And if you all need any help, find ol' Del Toshtaking a bow, addressing Sprites and Berrybreeze alike or any of us and we'll see what we can do

Berrybreeze calms down after a few minutes and looks around, a sudden mischievous gleam coming into her eyes. "I suppose this is the only time I will ever be allowed in the Liftworks," she says softly.
Suddenly she takes off like a streak of lightning, ringing lift bells on her way. Startled engineers start throwing levers. You hear chains rattling and gears grinding and shouts from below as lifts suddenly raise, lower, stop or change direction. Berrybreeze finally zips away, laughing, with the angry sprites in pursuit.

Raven laughs outright at the antics of the small fey. Once the fey flies away though she turns to the group.
"Seems that following this candyman might not be as easy as all of that." She says with concern in her eyes. "If he just disappears, then there might not be any way to follow after him..."
Del counts out some possibilities We could just attack when he shows up, since Berrybreeze says it's him not some minion - but then we have to find the captives separately, or force him to talk. If I'm with him, I can help you all follow. If he teleports with me, then I'd have to help you find me. But I suspect "just disappear" is hyperbole, sneaking off seems more likely. If he knocks me out or worse, then I am of no use. Is there a trick that'd help you find me regardless of the contingencies?
I guess I am still willing to chance being taken, and figuring out how you find me or follow on the fly. Let us take a rest and find a spot between Pitchpine and Northoak for me to fall into Candyman's clutches

"Well," Elwin began, "I've heard of mages finding others by using a lock of their hair. I guess there's a spell that could let us track you that way, but I don't know that any of us are strong enough to use it."
He rubbed his chin. "Still, having something like that from your person wouldn't hurt. Just in case. But it'll probably be better if you can leave a trail of some sort for us?"
"I can attempt to follow." Raven says with a bit of hesitation in her voice. "If he teleports, or uses some other means to magically transport you, then I will have no way of doing so though. If you wish to risk that, then let's move forward with the plan."
“If you ask me I think we’re over thinking it at this point. We either go with the best plan we have right now or do nothing. The more we speculate and think of what ifs the more time we waste. We can never know exactly how this is going to play out until we do it.”
